I was to say that a fool moon looks like your photo, then saw your note. Here it was not visible either because the clouds. Whsat I noticed also is that it looks different from a photo I took once, I mean the spots were differently oriented. I will try to find my pics later

Ronald Losure replied to Elena M:

You are correct, Elena. The two dark spots near the lower right edge of the moon are very near the moon's equator, and the moon's north pole is at the upper right. The apparent orientation of the moon depends on the observer's latitude. I am at latitude 33N, so the moon's north pole is approximately 33 degrees above horizontal.

Yes, she is, Pam. I was lucky with a clear sky, and lucky that I looked out before the moon had set.

What a great shot, Ron. I regret not seeing much of the sky now, we have bright streetlights around us.
